When do I bring my witness to SAT?

You don’t need to bring witnesses to a directions hearing, as this is where SAT will discuss with you the number, nature, and expertise of the witnesses you will rely on if your matter goes on to a further hearing.

If you rely on a witness in your matter, SAT requires witness statements to be filed at a reasonable time prior to a hearing. Witness statements are usually required at least 7 or 14 days before a hearing (depending on the nature of the proceedings). The dates for witness statements to be file will be discussed at the directions hearing.
